Question

Chlorine is prepared in the laboratory by treating manganese dioxide $(M n O_{2})$ with aqueous hydrochloric acid according to the reaction

$4 H C l (a q) + M n O_{2} (s) \to 2 H_{2} O (l) M n C l_{2} (a q) + C l_{2} (g)$

How many grams of $H C I$ reacts with $5.0 g$ of manganese dioxide?

Solution

Amount of manganese oxide $= 5 g$

We have to find amount of $H C l$ required.
Molar mass of $M n O_{2} : 55 + 32 = 87 g m o l^{- 1}$
Molar mass $H C l : 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g$

According to the balanced chemical equation,
$1 mol of M n O_{2} reacts with 4 mol of HCI$

So, $87 g of M n O_{2} reacts with (36.5 \times 4) g = 146 g of HCl.$
So, $5 g of M n O_{2} will react with$

$= \frac{146 g}{87 g} \times 5 g of HCl$
$= 8.4 g HCl$

Therefore, $8.4 g of HCl will react with 5 g of M n O_{2} .$

Final answer: $8.4 g o f H C l w i l l r e a c t w i t h 5 g of M n O_{2}$
